THE WRITING IS NOW ON THE WALLS. ECONOMIC & SOCIAL UNREST THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. PEOPLE WILL NOW TAKE MY WORD SERIOUS.-------"IT IS ONLY A FOOL, WHO ALLOWS HIS TESTICLES TO BE STEPPED ON TWICE"-------GO OUT THERE AND RECEIVE YOUR REWARD, ALL GHANAIANS. GO AND PAY THE PRICE FOR YOUR FOOLISHNESS. YOU DON'T GIVE A SECOND MANDATE TO AN INCOMPETENT AND CORRUPT GOVERNMENT, NO!! NOT AT ALL, THAT IS ABOMINATION IN DEMOCRACY, VERY SUICIDAL. HAD NDC MANAGED THE ECONOMY WELL, THESE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE SITUATION. NDC HAS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES GHANA HAS EVER HAD. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED MORE LOANS THAN ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT IN OUR HISTORY, BUT THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS. GHANAIANS SHOULD HAVE ENJOYED SOME ECONOMIC PROGRESS AT THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY. THE ECONOMY IS COLLAPSING BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT IS SO CORRUPT. TO RESCUE THE SITUATION, THE POOR IS NOW BEING FORCED TO PAY. THIS IS INJUSTICE. THIS IS NOT THE GHANA KUFFOUR HANDED OVER TO NDC, HE EVEN ADDED FRESH CRUDE OIL WELLS. NPP TRANFORMED GHANA TO A MIDDLE INCOME ECONOMY WITH LIMITED RESOURCES BUT GOOD POLICIES. NDC IS WOEFULLY REVERSING THESE NPP ACHIEVEMENTS. GHANA'S CURRENT SITUATION IS VERY DISTURBING. WHEN THE HISTORY IS TOLD, IT WILL BE SAID THAT GHANAIANS WERE OFFERED FREE SECONDARY EDUCATION, IMPROVED UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL HOUSING FOR THE POOR AND AN EGALITARIAN SOCIETY BUT 50% SAID NO THANK YOU. THEY PREFERRED ECONOMIC "WOYOMISATION" , PHANTOM DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, PHILANDERERS FOR LEADERS, MACHIAVELLIAN DISRESPECTFUL CORRUPT LOUTS AND A VISIONLESS EVIL GOVERNMENT. I AM SO PROUD I VOTED FOR NANA AKUFFO ADDO.

Ghanaian doctors lack conscience. After free university and education and privileges ensured by the same tax payer doctors they inhumanely leave the poor patient to die. The poor patient who has no say in this whole matter. Politcians travel outside for medical care and do not suffer the same fate as ordinary Ghanaians. These doctors are heartless and greedy.

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

The NDC would have to explain to Ghanaians how a dead man came to author and sign a letter!

The opening paragraph states, “I came to serve; I have finished my time here on earth and have moved on to everlasting rest and celestial duties with my heavenly father.”

The immediate question is; how did the dead man come to sign his own personal tribute, since he is already in heaven?

The letter then goes on melodramatically, “As you leaf through these pages of my life’s story, I pray to God that it touches your heart in many positive ways. Weep not, I am not dead. I am alive and awake in the Lord. Ghana will not die; Ghana will live to declare the works of the Lord. As I rest in perfect peace in the celestial realms with my maker, I pledge to always uphold and defend the good name of Ghana. Remember the Lord in all your ways and He will protect you. Stay well my brothers and sisters, I will always be with you. Signed (with actual signature) John Evans Atta Mills...

The MOH says the situation is under control. The 37 military hospital and the police hospital are fully functioning and will take care of cases from all over Ghana. Maybe, military helicopters should be going round the country to transport all sick people to those two hospitals. If these two hospitals are capable of handling all cases in the country why the hell is government keeping all the other hospitals?

they should be contracted to do the job. They must also pay their students loans and leave to the country to go and practice somewhere. We are tired of their manipulations; they also have families in ghana, and if they deemed it fit to treat their failies and let others die, so be it. What is the definition of revolution? I don't mean by guns or coup; but by the government taking the bull by the horn and put sanity into civil services. After all, a ship does not capside with only one person. In developed countries, all professional bodies have contracts and licenses to practice and strictly bind by ethics of their profession. In Rawlings' era, students were used, until sanity was brought back into the system. If they do not like their income, they should quietly leave and go to practice in Lagos as they did in the 80's. If it their wish for people to suffer and die, May the Almighty judge them by visiting their families, so that they know how painful it is to have such wicked intentions. May they and their families experience no pain in their lives. They cause the government with utility bills by using government facilities to for private practice and still have the impudence to subject the whole nation to ransome! God will definately judge us all. How many lawyers come out to work in the civil service? they should all be relieved into private practices as in developed countries. After the tax payers contribution to train you, being absorbed into the system with accomodation and job opportunities;using government facilities to earn extra income, you still have the courage to smack the tax payer in the face? they should go to blazes and satisfy their desire to see Ghanaians suffer without medical care.

The govt should with immediate privatise all hospitals and schools. The govt wage burden is too much. We would be avoiding these political manipulation of doctors and teachers.

We have on several occasions elaborated the evil agenda of the ewes and some northerners to destroy the very substance of the Akan. we go further as there still some fools who underestimate the severity and dire nature of this conspiracy. everyone was surprised when a so called pepeni christian chose mainly alajihs , were shocked by the trip to Turkey and the Lebanese or sekou's somersault of political parties. in every day life stories of children from mixed ethnic backgrounds denying and negating their Akan heritage in favor of the ewes or northerners eg fifi kwetey whose mother is fanti. this is a war against the Akans period and its time to stand up. below i have extracted from Wikipedia the translations of verses in the Qur'an and ideologies so you see where this comes from. the hypocrisy and the recommended camouflage when undermining the efforts and desires of the Akans .
Qur'an chapter 4.89. They yearn that you should disbelieve just as they disbelieved, so that you might be all alike. Do not, therefore, take from among them confidants and allies until they emigrate (to Mad?nah and join you) in God's cause. But if they turn away (from this call and continue their hostility against you), seize them and kill them wherever you find them; and do not take to yourselves any of them as confidant, nor as helper.
9:5 When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them.
Taqiyya ???? (alternate spellings taqiyeh,taqiya, taqiyah, tuqyah) is a form of religious dissimulation,[1] or a legal dispensation whereby a believing individual can deny his faith or commit otherwise illegal or blasphemous acts while they are at risk of significant persecution.[2]
Kitman (Arabic kitm?n ????? "secrecy, concealment") is the act of paying lip service to authority while holding personal opposition. It is a sort of political camouflage, for the purpose of survival, in circumstances where open opposition would result in persecution.
